I think this is the most improtant factor. It is a big deal in North LA. I wonder how they handle the summer workouts down there as well? Im not sure the players buy in as much. There is just not much else to do here in the North.

You are right on that one. We havent faired to well against the Catholic boys. My freshman year we had Rummel 20-7 at halftime and they came back and beat us. I know that there are some exceptions down there as far as the Strength and Conditioning goes.See JC, Rummel, ect.. What shcool does your son play at?

Football teams with mandatory summer workout programs at the school are pretty much the norm these days. Hasn't always been that way.

You have schools in EBR School system whose kids can't get rides because they are bused in during the school year.

I'm telling you...don't sleep on Ouachita. They are HUGE and have 2 WR that will sign with BCS Schools. Factor in Thanksgiving holidays and a 5 hour bus ride...I wouldn't be surprised at all if Ouachita wins. In fact I'm choosing to be on the sidelines for this game instead of my usual seats at WM.

Quarterfinals is the round where the upsets happen...

ETA: Taijun Thomas is committed to Stanford not Sims. Sims is big time though.
